A must-read story about two teen hoopsters

If you haven’t already read or watched the video of the two small-town high school boys basketball teams and one very big show of sportsmanship, it’s worth your while to check it out.

The story — Two Oregon teenagers, a basketball and the moment the game became secondary — is about one boy who struggles to live a normal life because of a condition with which he was afflicted at an early age. It’s also about another boy, an opponent, who, in an otherwise nondescript season-opener, put the challenged boy ahead of himself. Anna Griffin of the Oregonian captured the moments before, during and since wonderfully.
